SUV sales surge across India giving auto industry festive push

After a lacklustre car sales performance over the last couple of months across India, the festive season is witnessing a surge in demand and sales across the country. In October, the auto industry received a festive push, which was a much-desired boost for the sector. The SUV segment witnessed a surge in demand and sales in October, thanks to the festive push, which propelled the major car manufacturers to post significant growth. Interestingly, this came at a time when the small car segment continued with sluggish sales performance, highlighting the consumers' increasing preference for larger and premium cars.

Jaguar stops selling new cars in its home country

Tata Motors-owned British luxury car marque Jaguar has stopped selling new cars in its home country UK. This move comes as part of the brand's strategy of going fully electric.

However, Jaguar will continue selling its cars in other countries across the world.
